Here are a couple extra shots from Nickerson Beach. Terns, Oystercatchers and plovers are nesting. If you go take a lens of at least 300mm. Longer is better. I forgot my 500mm being half asleep and I wish I had it with me. I used a 70-300mm for these pictures. Pictures are cropped. I think the Oystercatchers are still nesting because I had seen some of the birds on the eggs. When you get close to them they dive bomb you. I had maybe 2-2½ hrs of good light to shoot. I was at the beach 5am. The walk from the parking lot to the nesting area is close to half mile. I'll try again in a few days and may even try sundown.
